Recurved Windshield Options
#11
I had the same concerns when I was considering a recurved shield for my EGC. I finally settled on a Windvest screen. The first screen I selected was the 6 inch height. While this was a cool looking height and did a decent enough job of keeping the wind out of my face, the noise level across my ears made hearing the radio a real chore. I contacted Windvest the same day after doing a full day test ride of about 200 miles with the 6 inch shield and letting them know I wasn't quite happy. They immediately sent out the 8 inch shield and only charged me an additional $10 difference in price. I sent back the 6 inch shield and now I am much happier. I am 5' 8'' tall and the 8" shield comes to about chin level on me sitting on a stock seat (just a little reference info). Good luck and happy hunting.

I use a 8" Clearview (I know you asked about other brands) but this shield can't be beat, people bitch about what they cost but they are far cheaper than a lot of brands and the quality can't be beat.
The only thing I would advise is getting a little taller shield unless you are REAL short, I'm 5'10" and the 8" is just tall enough for me.

Just ordered a Clearview 9.5", smoked with recurve for my '09. $80 including shipping since it was a "blem". As I've read others feedback...I doubt I'll find what they called a "blem". No way to go wrong with that deal. Call Clearview and order!
As others also noted...they have great customer service. Very impressive these days.

Well I will find out soon enough. I checked out the LRS web site and from comments I went ahead and bought the 6". If your looking for one they are on sale right now at LRS for $79. Glad I took a look today, saved myself a some money. I was going to wait till I got home again, but I like to save a dime when I can.
